I am writing now because I may not have much time later tonight and tomorrow I expect to not have Internet access for most of the day I think both Atlanta and Sacramento have WiFi at the airport but you have to pay for it, so I might just download that demo for the Left Behind game. It has four hours of play before you get the cutoff. Oh well, we will see how far I can get in that time I guess. Although my layover is less then an hour so I will be hauling but to get to my second flight. Oh well. I have a good amount of peace today. I was able to handle the ridiculus customers and their issues/questions/imaginations very well today. I am a little less positive about the new hire situation. It may be that there is some disagreement about who to hire for the open spot, but that will get filled eventually and so on and so forth. I have a basketball game tonight and I just hope that we don't make fools of ourselves to much. I really expect to get slaughtered. Personally I can only hope to keep myself from dying of wind exhaustion. I was starting to get some steam there before the four week break of eating and sleeping and not running everyday like I wanted. Maybe next week I can get that going. Oh well, once basketball is over I am all over picking up TaeKwonDo or some other form of martial arts here in town. That will be sweet.

So, my paycheck finally arrived. Well, I use the term arrived very very loosely. At 5:05 when I called UPS they told me that they would get intouch with the local hub and then the hub would call me. So I wanted. At 5:37 I received a call from said hub and after a brief discussion, in which I was very polite, they told me they would get a hold of the driver and find out what had happened. At 6:10 when I called they told me that the driver had delivered it to my front door.
me - Front door?
ups - Yes he placed it inside the screen door.
me - What screen door?
ups - You don't have a screen door.
me - No I do not have a screen door.
ups - Hmmm.
me - Ask him if it was the Board of Realators building.
ups - Oh, he may have delivered it to another house on the block.
me - Wow, thanks.
So, apparently the driver decided that my address, which is clearly on the envelope and clearly on the building, was a suggestion. I had to truck on down the street in the rain asking people if they got my paycheck. Finally found it. The driver had dropped it off three hours earlier. Thanks UPS, thank you very much.
